A Year in Review

I thought I'd highlight the last few months of 2008.....

Danielle turned 13 in November...

Before it was officially winter, we headed up to Idyllwild for our "traditional family trip". we head up there every year or so, the girls have wonderful memories since they were very little of hiking in the streams,  going to the candy shop to get snow cones and english toffee, and just having a wonderful family time!

My love of 19 years!!!!!

My 3 beautiful children.......

We headed to the pumpkin patch and Caleb & Danielle  caught some air on the trampoline......!

she's getting ready folks.....

Caleb couldn't believe how high he was gonna go! 

this pumpkin was just his size!

my 3 kiddos

and let's not forget the petting zoo...........

And then there was Christmas......but's thats a whole other blog............

stay tuned..!!!

PICTURE HINT

I just found this out, if you click on the pictures that you see, they will enlarge and you can see it full size on your screen!

This is Caleb's new bike.........he LOVES it !!

The first couple days after getting his bike, he wanted to take it with us in the car everywhere we went ( grocery store, the girls school....) he would have slept with it in his bed if we had let him- i drew the line with that one !!!!

It resembles a "mini motorcycle" which mom is just fine with..we barely got him used to wearing a helmet, so I'm glad he has this "moto" to ride for a while before dad buys him the "real thing".......!!!

Our attempt at a "good current family photo".......that's as good as it gets for now! (minus the red eye)

          Here is the "Turnure Trio" : Brit, Danie, and Caleb-they all grow up WAY too fast!!! i miss my babies!!! (.....look closely in the background, I thought I'd get a "small weekend boat" for us to enjoy...........you can borrow it anytime.............)

  We now have "2 brunettes " in the family- Brittanie decided to change her hair color in May, at first I had to get used to it, but it fits her so well, and now when we see older pictures of her it seems weird, we love her new look!
                    Our little Caleb -this picture definatly describes his personality, he's ALL boy and keeps going , and going, and going all day long!

Here we are

Here we are getting started with a family blog. We have joined many of our friends and are creating a blog spot to stay in touch, updated on life in general, and to see how the kids are growing up of course!
